The rising of drugs cost directly affect the total expenses of the hospital. Thus, their procurement, especially for fast-moving drugs, should be managed effectively. This study aimed to examine the effciency of fast- moving drug plan after reorder point (ROP) intervention at a private hospital in Bandung. We conducted a pre-experimental study and used turn-over ratio (TOR) as a parameter. Data were taken from the stock of antibiotics in May-June of 2013 and May-June 2014. Cost components were collected; included the amount of stock, the cost of goods sold, and daily drug use. We did pre-test and post-test analysis to check the effciency of intervention. The results showed that ROP intervention increased the effciency of fast-moving drug plan. The comparison of pre- and post- intervention resulted a lower inventory value and a greater TOR value. We concluded that the increase in effciency will eventually require a smaller budget of drug expenses.

These services are based on the quality of drugs and affordable services. The quality of drugs is produced from a good procurement by pharmacist. In developing countries, pharmaceutical purchases represent the single largest health expenditure after personnel cost, they usually spent 40-50% of the hospital expenses. 1,2 Procurement for antibiotics is an important part of effcient drug management and supply. An effective procurement ensures the availability of the right drugs in the right quantities, available at the right time, for the right patient, at reasonable prices, and recognizable standards of quality. 3 The stock systems that support suffcient products for each department are needed. However, overstock causes more fnancial problems and spends more time to resolve. Conversely, doi: 10.15416/pcpr.v4i3.24924
